Again, I'm having a tough time deciding which is the biggest failure, but the two I feel the worst about not finishing are Code Blue and a story called Now or Never that isn't even on AC. Those were the two that had the most potential. Now or Never suffered from not enough planning and, consequently, a fatal case of writer's block.

I loved "Now or Never". It was one of the few stories that had Brian as the one hurt instead of Nick. :D

I'm still doing this. :D I've posted a prologue of an AU story where Brian and Nick met in a library and forgot that it existed.
FrickingKaos:
Well i have done an NSYNC BSB crossover. I have taken ideas from movies, I make lots of references in my story to other things. Finding Carter is chock full of that stuff lol
mare:
My memory sucks when it comes to stuff I've written so I'm going to do my best with these faux pas. lol
*From Tracy and Julie's list the things I am also guilty of are:
labeling things POV. (I can't remember when I did it but my guess is some of my earlier stuff might have that!)
I have written a story in script form I think, one of my short ones
Written a cheesy go to the light scene minus the Nickelback lyrics lol
Written a story with multiple sequels because I was begged to!
Written stories about topics I had no idea what I was talking about
Written a story purely because a reader asked me to
Written scenes or stories based on a joke
Had characters act out of character (my guess is at some point, I have done this as well)
My girl characters tend to be one dimensional
Plus some of my own:
Accidentally change names of people halfway through a story
Have Kevin creepily call Nick baby
Plagiarize myself (all the time!)
Overuse of stereotypes (Howie winking, AJ cussing, Frick and Frack, "he's my cousin")
Calling Howie "The Latino" as a description
Most likely using the word "orbs" to describe someone's eyes!
Putting in too many references to groundhogs and imaginary friends
Accidentally switch from first to third person
"..." said and "..." said
Not always remembering to start a new line when a new person is talking. (this during my humble beginnings lol)
Making Kevin indestructible
Nick rolls his eyes a lot! And I don't know why because I can say I have NEVER ever seen him do this in real life lmao
Nick gets kidnapped...ag ain
Kevin comes to Nick's rescue...again
Female either dies or becomes the villain or dies AFTER she becomes the villain
Leighanne is usually a giant tool! (not really a faux pah, just felt the need to say that!) lol
Taken ideas from SK and ran with them
Named characters after friends because they asked me to
I am sure there are more, but I'm stopping for now. LOL

Aww thanks! LOL I used to hurt Brian all the time; unfortunately, those are my old, badly-written ones.

I think references are okay; I was talking copying whole storylines!
